Amarillo police said a driver sped a white Chevrolet Lumina through a number of red lights on 10th Avenue and broad-sided a gray Lumina in which the woman was a passenger about 8:50 p.m.

The victim was pronounced dead a short time later, said Sgt. Luis Hernandez, the first supervisor on scene from the Amarillo Police Department. Police wouldn't release the name of the victim, pending notification of next of kin, said Sgt. Steve Davis of the Amarillo Police Department, supervisor of the traffic investigation unit.

Davis said witnesses at the scene said the driver of the white Lumina was traveling eastbound along 10th Avenue at a high rate of speed and probably ran several lights.

The vehicle then broad-sided the gray Lumina traveling through 10th Avenue, southbound on Harrison Street, Davis said. The passenger's side was mangled and dented. Witnesses at the scene said the vehicle flipped over once.

The driver of the gray Lumina sustained injuries and was taken to an Amarillo hospital, Hernandez said.

The driver of the white Lumina, along with a female passenger, sustained minor injuries in the crash.

Police performed a sobriety test on the driver of the white Lumina.

Christeena Baker, 23, was at her house near 10th Avenue and Jackson Street when she saw the white Lumina traveling down the street through several red lights, she said.

"He plowed through Jackson. He plowed through Van Buren," said Baker, who estimated the car was going at least 60 mph. "He was going way over the speed limit."

Baker said the gray Lumina had a green light.

"He was going through and it didn't look like he was going to stop for nothing," said Baker, adding the noise of the impact was tremendous.

"If you were deaf, you could hear it," Baker said. "It was that loud."

Davis said it was hard to investigate the accident, especially when the victim did nothing wrong besides be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
